In Pursuit Of Happiness

Original version (3:31)

Hey, I’m not the type
To say one thing and do another
And if it’s all right
I’d kind of like to be your lover
‘Cause when you’re with me
I can’t help but be
So desperately
Uncontrollably
Happy!

And hey, I’m not the kind
To fall in love without good reason
And if that’s a crime
Then baby I’m committing high treason
‘Cause when you’re with me
I’m absolutely
And totally,
Quite uncontrollably
Happy!

And hey, I’m not so blind
That I can’t see where we’re all going
And it’s no fault of mine,
If humankind reaps what it’s sowing.
Just as long as we are together forever
I’ll never be anything other than
Happy!

Hey, don’t be surprised
If millions die in plague and murder.
True happiness lies
Beyond your fries and happy burger.
